Ever since LOTR movies splashed through the screens, it was a crash course to Middle-earth for me and ended my short journey until reading “The Silmarillion” book. Any of those chapters could become movie installments but I guess it will best to leave it alone.

Yes, positive rewrite. I’m going to call it as one because I don’t want it to be my enemy then later becoming a bane to one’s existence. 😀

I found it interesting when I was re-reading a couple of the screenplay books I have and new scenes would flash by for “Project Seven” and presently, I’m re-writing Act One. I have bare bones scenes for Act 2 and Act 3.

My last year’s screenwriting class gave me an opportunity of writing a treatment and would like to apply it for some 22 screenplay ideas I’ve jotted down in my idea notebook but I’m still not getting the knack of it so I’ll be adding more readings. This sample treatment teared me up inside. *sniff*

Yay! I’ve sent Chapter nine of “Arus Eyes” to my beta reader! Chapter nine had basic scenes in place but as I was resolving three or so story threads, it only made sense I leave open and just close Marsh’s story. If I maintained to close the story threads, I’ll prolly be looking at another two year in the making to end the fanfic and it will most likely go beyond ten chapters.

Note to self, make sure to first finish the story before letting my beta reader hang for so long. Opps. I’ve really planned “Arus Eyes” to be 10-chapter story so it was intentional some story threads will be left open enough to pick it up for the next story expansion. The next story is going to be called “The Altered” which will be continuing the Haggarium thread and I think my interpretation of Maahox’s experiments. 😀

I’ve only seen pictures of “The Little Matchgirl” and “Tick Tock Tale” and lastly, “Lava” Disney’s latest collection of shorts and Lava, reminded me of Hawaii. Aloha! 😀 Once again, Mark leaves us smiling with his cover. I like it when a song has a story feel to it.

I was feeling excited managing to apply some basic rules to the script and today I was able to snip some action paragraphs to make it lean writing.

I was a little amused because I was somewhat organized now than before after a lot of RL upheavals to get me back to drafting a screenplay now called “Project Seven” while “Project 52” will have to wait.

“Project Seven” came with three titles so far, which I can’t decide but what was important – the keyword was attached to all three titles. I can easily play around when I’ve reached FADE OUT. 🙂

I’ve maintained a generic title “Project Seven” from my idea notebook that way, I can keep track on what the heck I was working on. I’ve noticed I had a lot of snippets of scenes scrawled from one notebook to another, and playing a guessing game to which idea number it came from was entirely fruitless.

After watching the trailer, I was quite intrigued by the world it painted because “Into the Badlands” gave quite a steam punk vibe with a modern feel. The costumes added the mystery of an alternate Earth look somehow which is interesting. I can’t wait for program to premiere this November and find out more about this world. There are a lot of sword fight scenes treated as “like martial arts ballet ” with the opposing characters usually finding the business end of it, still I hope it won’t be too graphic and leave it in the capable hands of creative editing to let the audience imagine the final shock.

and my all time favorite martial arts actor Mark Dacascos favorited the tweet too. I first saw in “Double Dragon” and went back to all his previous movie projects I could find. 😀 I’m crossing my fingers the producers will tap him to guest star in the show for a multiple character arc! 🙂
